Boss BP-1W Waza Craft Booster/Preamp

Boss BP-1W Waza Craft Booster/Preamp

For generations, savvy guitarists have relied on key pieces of analog gear to enhance their core tone. Though discontinued over 30 years ago, the CE-1 and RE-201 remain widely used by many players for their characterful preamps as much as their famous analog effect sounds. These “secret weapons“ make the sound richer, fuller, and more satisfying to play, even when their effect processing is bypassed. The BP-1W lets you integrate the magical tone-shaping properties of these legends into your own rig—without having to seek out rare and expensive vintage originals.

The vintage BOSS CE-1 Chorus Ensemble and RE-201 Space Echo are legendary for their inspiring and influential effect sounds. But they’re also loved for their variable analog preamp circuitry, which instantly infuses any guitar tone with character, body, and richness. With the BP-1W, you can now access these two classic preamp tones in a premium Waza Craft pedal, along with a natural, clear voice that functions as a standard clean boost. 

• Three selectable modes
• CE mode reproduces the bright, bell-like preamp sound of the BOSS CE-1 Chorus Ensemble
• RE mode reproduces the fat, warm preamp sound of the Roland RE-201 Space Echo
• NAT mode provides a natural clean boost with minimal sound coloration
• Gain knob controls the amount of saturation introduced into the signal
• Level knob for controlling the overall volume and driving the inputs of amps and other pedals
• Selectable standard or vintage input buffer with different tone and response characteristics
• Made in Japan
• BOSS five-year warranty
